Rebirth

Lately I've been listening to Iron and Wine's song "Resurrection Fern". Naturally, I looked up what Resurrection Ferns were, in an effort to understand the song better. It's a plant that feeds off the nutrients of bigger trees and in periods of drought it can appear dead but with just a little water it will come back to life.

Sometimes thats how I feel, like I was dead and then someone came along and then the rain came in bringing me back to life. I think it happens to a lot of people. Nobody starts off being miserable or depressed but sometimes bad things happen - droughts - that make us curl in on ourselves as a preservation technique.

I'm glad to be awake again.
